The Special K's of German Game Design

In the world of German games, Wolfgang Kramer may be the designer with the most awards and Reiner Knizia may be the most prolific, but when it comes to sales, the old bottom line, there is one name that stands above all others: Klaus Teuber. Much of this is due to the incredible success of the Settlers of Catan game and its many variants. But Settlers of Catan was not the first Teuber game to achieve worldwide popularity. Perhaps more than any other modern game designer, he has his finger on the pulse of the gaming world and his unerring instinct of what is acceptable to family gamers as well as more serious gamers is nothing short of phenomenal.
